FAQs
What age group are these New Balance 327 shoes designed for?
These specific New Balance 327 shoes are designed for younger kids, offering sizing and features optimized for their needs and activities.
What is the benefit of the bungee closure system?
The bungee closure system replaces traditional laces, allowing for incredibly quick and easy on and off. This is particularly beneficial for younger children who are still developing fine motor skills, promoting independence while ensuring a secure fit.
Are these shoes suitable for sports or just casual wear?
While the New Balance 327 has a runner-inspired design and provides comfort and traction, it's primarily designed for all-day casual wear, school, and light playground activities. It's not intended for high-performance athletic sports.
What materials are used in the New Balance 327 Younger Kids shoes?
The upper of these shoes features a combination of synthetic suede and nylon (mesh) materials, providing a blend of durability, breathability, and comfort.
How do I clean the suede on these shoes?
For suede, it's best to use a soft brush designed for suede to gently remove any dried dirt or debris. For deeper cleaning, specialized suede cleaners can be used, always following the product instructions. Avoid excessive moisture on suede.
Do these shoes provide good grip for active kids?
Yes, the New Balance 327 features a distinctive lugged rubber outsole, inspired by trail running shoes. This design provides reliable traction and grip on various surfaces, making them well-suited for active play.
Troubleshooting
My child finds the shoes difficult to put on or take off.
Ensure the bungee closure is fully loosened before your child attempts to put their foot in or take it out. Guide them to push their foot completely into the shoe before tightening the bungee for a secure fit. Practice may be needed initially.
The shoes appear dirty or stained after play.
For suede areas, use a soft-bristled brush specifically for suede to gently remove dried dirt. For nylon mesh, wipe with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild, diluted soap. Always allow the shoes to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat.
The shoes feel too loose or too tight on my child's foot.
Adjust the bungee closure system. Pulling it tighter will secure the fit, while loosening it will provide more room. Ensure your child is wearing appropriate socks (not too thick or thin) to achieve the best fit. If issues persist, double-check the sizing against a foot measurement.

The New Balance 327 Younger Kids shoe requires minimal setup. To use, simply loosen the bungee closure, slide your child's foot into the shoe, and then pull the bungee to secure it for a snug, comfortable fit. The shoe is compatible with UK children's sizing, with this specific model being a UK Size 10 (children's). It is designed as a unisex shoe for younger kids. For care, gently brush off loose dirt from the suede using a soft brush. For the nylon mesh and spot cleaning, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing, especially on the suede. Allow shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent material damage. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
